Hey,
I like the Desire Z, I use rogers is this going to be possible?
I currently run t-mobile touch pro2, but in my city they are just upgrading to 3g unlike bigger cities liek Toronto already have it.
# GSM/GPRS/EDGE on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 2G GSM, or 2.5G in the case of EDGE)
# UMTS/HSPA on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands (Also known as 3G GSM)

According to this article...
Bell is going to launch the Desire Z it will have the bands you need for 100% 3G compatibility, since I'm on ATT here in the US, I might have to pick one up too.
Thanks,
that's definetely what I was after... i get confused sometimes...
cheers

Hi .. I was searching the forum because I want to purchase an HTC HD2 T9193 which, I know, has the 850 - 2100 Mhz band. But I found on the net a vendor who offers the HTC HD2 850 - 1900 Mhz band, is this right ?
On the other hand, if there is not such HD2 with 850 - 1900 Mhz band, the one with the 850 - 2100 band will pick up 3G in Canada ?
That model (850 / 1900) was supposed to come out (for AT&T most probably), but it has since been cancelled.
I'd be careful if I were you. You can find more info about it here
The Telstra model (T9193) supports 850 / 2100 MHz like you said. You'll need to check with your service provider if they support 850.

Yes. You'll need to check if ATT supports the 850mhz band IN YOUR AREA.
I'm in a North Shore Suburb of Chicago area and have excellent reception with my T9193 in the area. There are 3 dead zones I've found so far that repeatedly drops calls using the HD2's 850mhz band exclusively. Other unlocked phones I've previously owned that used the 1900mhz band exclusively did NOT drop calls in these areas however. Other than that, reception has been great. It's been reported that ATT is "supposedly" moving their entire network to the 850mhz band exclusively by end of 2010. I'm doubtful they are on target for this date given the number of cities still without any 850mhz support.
T9193
Hi guys ...thanks for your responses. Well, I know that the most important service providers in Canada (Rogers, Telus, Fido) transmit 3G in the 850 - 1900 mhz band. I suppose I will not have problems whether I use the T9193
The Nexus S supports these networks
Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700 HSPA type: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) HSUPA (5.76Mbps)

Telus supports 1900/850 MHz frequency bands. More detail at telusmobilityDOTcom/en/ON/network/about.shtm
BTW, AT&T and all other major Canadian providers use these bands.
Edge yes, 3G no
There are definitely a lot of people curious about whether they will release a rogers/AT&T band version. My guess is probably not, AT&T probably won't be interested in picking it up and it would be hard to justify it otherwise.
Ughh I really want to get one but no 3G on at&t is a dealbreaker

canada now has 3 providers using the AWS (1700) like T-Mobile. Wind, Mobilicity and (I may be wrong here) I believe Vidéotron
It will NOT work on Telus or Bell, period. It doesn't have the right 3G frequencies and Bellus doesn't have a GSM network.
Someone is giving his old HTC Desire Z Europe Version with UMTS 900/2100.
Does anyone notice if it can work at T-Mobile USA 4G network at UMT 1700/2100?
or it just can do up to 3G.
Is it better to replace with G2 instead of DZ to get 4G?
options are G2 and DZ
It will only work on 2G
I am still curious about it since the both having UMTS 2100MHz Band I.
C.Flat, did you get a HTC DZ with UMTS 850/1900? In this case, I am sure that HTC America Version ( not G2) will stick on 2G.
The 1700/2100 MHz band used by T-Mobile for 3G/4G is Band IV, not Band I. For Band IV, 1700 is for upload, and 2100 is for download, not like the Band I used in Europe, which uses 2100 MHz for up/down.

I've seen a lot of isues with phones on t-mobile locked on EDGE speed...
I was wondering if my phone, a galaxy s international (french) was compatible with 3G or maybe H+.
I can't seems to find any good informations...
Wikipedia : Dual band CDMA2000/EV-DO Rev. A 800 and 1,900 MHz;
WiMAX 2.5 to 2.7 GHz;
802.16e 2.5G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE): 850, 900, 1,700, 1,800, 1,900, and 2,100 MHz;
3G (HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s, HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s): 900, 1,900, and 2,100 MHz;
but i think it include every version
Unfortunately your phone won't get 3G but you can get AT&T 3G. It's weird you have 1700 MHz 2G. I wonder if that could be unlocked for 3G? That's the only 3G frequency you are missing.
If you are asking about T-Mobile in the U.S. then perhaps...T-Mo/USA is re-farming some 1900 MHz for 3G operation in some select cities/locales. And your phone does support 900/1900/2100 MHz 3G, so in theory, and if in certain locations, then yes, you may be able T-Mo 3G via 1900 MHz.
From the press release:
As part of the company’s network modernization effort, T-Mobile also plans to launch 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz band in a large number of markets by the end of the year.
http://www.airportal.de/
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/07/tmob...omers-off-2g-network-with-upgrade-incentives/
I've heard about Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, Boston, Washington DC and there have been individual reports from many other locales.
AT&T does also have 3G on 1900 MHz in some locales: http://www.cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml
But I am not sure if they have ceded some of these to T-Mo as part of the failed merger, and/or transitioned those to 850 MHz?
Both AT&T and T-Mo do offer pre-paid SIMs and services - and there are some MVNOs like StraightTalk reselling AT&T and T-Mo network access.
Hi guys! Thought I would put this here since I saw from the past few weeks about some people having signal issues with the HTC One.
Unfortunately HTC updated their HTC One page with the new frequency bands list.

To the australian people who preordered their phones from EU. It is indeed official now that 850mhz is not supported.
*Australian on the 850MHz carrier here*
On one hand, I'm glad HTC acknowledged this and I've have been put out of my misery. On the other, I want to do a facepalm at HTC.
I understand how 850MHz testing of the European model could have been deprioritised. And I still believe HTC should be supported for coming out with a great phone at a time of trouble (possibly as many articles on their profit report as phone reviews!), but boy are they making it hard for themselves. They are not a new company. What's different about this phone vs the other internationally available in different variants phones they've released?
I have a quiet chuckle every so often about the saga of getting this phone. Excitement, delay, delay, worry about 850MHz support, dispatch!, oh what it won't work?!?, return, wait for local launch, to be continued...
You wouldn't happen to know what type of NFC it has?
Looked at GSM arena, no where does it go in to any depth on the NFC...
Cheers,

I'm in the same position here, buggered cos i was so excited. Plus only being able to realise this in the last day or so, now i'm probably now at the end of a very long wait list on the Harvey Norman preorders.
The HTC Unlocked from the US site has the following information:
This HTC One® unlocked version comes with: 32GB of onboard memory and is SIM unlocked.
- HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)

From my understanding this works in Europe too, except for the LTE?
Frequencies:
900 / 1800 MHz GSM, GPRS, EDGE
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
900 / 1800 MHz LTE
As I pretty don't much care about 4G/LTE the US unlocked will work otherwise without any problems, right?
Yes you are correct!
Other thank the UK variant not having 850mhz HSDPA frequency all bands from 2g to HSPA should be compatible worldwide.

It has the NXP PN544 chip with its usual level of support it seems. Unlike the S4, it should therefore support Mifare tags without issues.
